The need to protect what is left has attracted both local and international attention. Tourism has been advanced by conservation and development organizations, governments and the tourism industry as an approach through which conservation, development and livelihood issues can be addressed. Tourism is seen to come with new opportunities and benefits like: direct revenues, local area investments, jobs, extra incomes (e.g. by selling handcrafts, agricultural produce etc), and infrastructural development that can contribute to addressing livelihood problems hindering nature conservation. Tourism from 1980s up to date is the fastest growing industry according to UNWTO, WTTC, and regional organizations statistics. The WSSD Rio summit, 1992 (Earth summit) and the subsequent WSSD Johannesburg summit in 2002 (Rio +10) focused on tourism among others as a strategy to achieve sustainable development. Agenda 21 on travel and tourism industry and later Sustainable Tourism- Eliminating Poverty (ST-EP) programme were formulated because of the dual role tourism often plays in nature conservation and in achieving global environmental awareness and education.

3 As a result of these initiatives, new forms of tourism emerged generically referred to as alternative tourism. Different forms of alternative tourism (responsible tourism, ecotourism, green tourism, ethic tourism, community based tourism and sustainable tourism) have grown in popularity. All emphasize environmental ethics and the role of environmental education in tourism management. Yet, the link between tourism, nature conservation and environmental education at the conceptual and / or theoretical level has remained blurred. Meanwhile, the practical use of tourism to achieve development, fight poverty and conserve nature has grown in importance. This explains the emphasis given to tourism in establishing protected areas world over. Although not always stressed in tourism management, environmental education through visitor interpretation, wildlife education centers, and community conservation programmes has become an important natural resource management tool. Generally, however, the lack of a theoretical or conceptual framework to link tourism, nature conservation and environmental education has made it difficult to develop sound policy and management procedures. No policy model apparently exists to combine the three. This is one of the concerns of this conference. Conference goals and objectives The goal of the conference is to discuss how tourism and environmental education can be linked into a major strategy for nature conservation and sustainable development. Developing countries, where biodiversity loss is often more pronounced, will serve as the backdrop for the discussion yet applicable research and case studies from around the world are welcomed. The conference aims to achieve the following general objectives. To analyse the role of environmental education in tourism and nature conservation. To critically examine how tourism can be used as a livelihood strategy. To critically examine how tourism can be used as a nature conservation strategy. To critically examine other approaches, beyond environmental education, that have been used to create environmental awareness. To critically assess the roles of various stakeholders in managing tourism and nature conservation. To develop new approaches to tourism and environmental education with global and local applicability. To provide an open forum for the exchange of views among academics, conservationists and practitioners, local communities, various stakeholders of the tourism industry and all other people and organizations involved. Call for papers The organizers welcome abstracts, full papers and communications on a range of themes but not limited to: 1. Tourism and community development Community tourism development process
